Clifton-Aldan is a station along the SEPTA West Chester Line. It is located at Springfield Road & Maryland Avenue and has a 110-space parking lot. This station is also within a walking distance of the Clifton-Aldan stop of the Route 102 Trolley (additional fare needed). The trolley stop is on the portion of the line where the tracks run in the streets rather than on their own right-of-way. Trolleys run beneath a narrow ft in to m|13|4 bridge over Springfield Road for the R3 line with a parallel pedestrian tunnel before approaching the regional railroad station. South of the station, the Route 102 line moves from Springfield Road to Woodlawn Avenue.

According to the [http://www.west2k.com/pastations/pastations.htm Pennsylvania Railroad Stations Past & Present] website, Clifton-Aldan Station was originally built in 1880 by the Pennsylvania Railroad as Aldan Station, in the style of a stone Victorian farm house 2^1/2 stories high. [ [http://www.west2k.com/pastations/delawarepa.htm Existing Railroad Stations in Delaware County, Pennsylvania] ] Parking is available on the south side of the tracks on the corner of Springfield Road and West Maryland Avenue as well as on the north side of the tracks along Jefferson Street between South Springfield Road and South Penn Street.
